The correct answer is:
Applying the Bernoulli equation,
Here, the height of the water in the tank is ,
is the pressure of water in the tank, and
is the velocity of the water.
is the hole's height,
is the pressure at hole, and
is the water's pace at the hole and
represents the water density.
There acts the same atmospheric pressure at the top of the tank and at the hole, thus .
We will neglect the water velocity at the top since the tank is large as its velocity is much smaller than the velocity at the hole.
Now, the Bernoulli equation becomes,
The drainage rate is
